Archive for the ‘Name Tag Swap’ Category

For this swap, you commit to making a handmade name tag for somebody else attending Sew It Together. It’s a blind swap, so you won’t know who is making yours until it arrives! These will need to be completed and posted out before Sew It Together, so the recipient will bring it to Canberra and proudly wear it on their lanyard.

We have seen some amazing examples of name tags made over the last two years, and this is a swap I wouldn’t miss for the world. Trust me, it will be worth all the trouble, when you proudly get to walk into SIT with a handmade name tag.

Now I should add that you should not be intimidated by some of the tags that you see from previous years. We all know that there are experienced ladies coming along as well as really inexperienced ladies, and it’s not about how technically amazing your name tag is. It’s about having something made, just for you by someone else, that you get to wear with pride.

To sign up, please go and see this post from the delightful Gillian, who has kindly volunteered to host the Name Tag Swap this year.

I’m delighted to tell you that there are now 51 people booked to come to the Saturday Crafting Session (hooray!), but that means there are 26 of you who are going to be super disappointed that you didn’t sign up for the name tag swap.

Trust me……when the girls in Melbourne, who didn’t participate, turned up without a gorgeous handmade name tag on, they were very regretful.

Don’t let that be you!

Signups close tomorrow over at Megan’s blog, and you can find the post to sign up here.

Surprisingly, I have finished my name tag for Gypsy‘s swap well before the deadline and it is ready to be sent off. I blogged about it here.

In conjunction with that, I also thought you might like to see what I picked up this week.

Oh, yeah, sorry I had to take a photo in the mirror. You can read in mirror image, can’t you. If not, just grab your laptop and find your own mirror. Then you can see the magnificence of the Sew It Together lanyard.

I’m delighted to announce a swap for the participants of Sew It Together. We are going to swap….

NAME TAGS!

Gypsy, of The Craft Gypsy has graciously offered to host the swap, and you will find all the details on her blog post here. If you are interested, please make sure you sign up over at The Craft Gypsy (and not here), so that Gypsy has all your details.

Participation is not compulsory and is open to anyone attending any event at Sew It Together.

Thanks so much to Gypsy for organising this! It’s a great idea and I’m looking forward to seeing what people come up with.
